Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation y = -3x + 8? Group of answer choices

Slope is -8 and y-intercept is 3
Slope is 8 and y-intercept is -3
Slope is -3 and y-intercept is -8
Slope is -3 and y-intercept is 8

Answer 1

The form

`y=mx+q`

is called slope-intercept form. In particular, the coefficient
`m` is the slope, and the constant
`q` is the y-intercept.

In your case, the coefficient of
`x` is
`-3`, so that would be your slope.

And your constant term is
`8`, so that is your y-intercept.

Answer 2

Slope is -3 and y-intercept is 8

Explanation:

y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y intercept :)
